Ninety-two-year-old World War II Spitfire pilot Joy Lofthouse recently got to fly a Spitfire again as part of the seventy-year anniversary of the use of the planes in the Air Transport Auxiliary (ATA).
The ATA was used in WWII to "[ferry] Royal Air Force and Royal Navy warplanes between factories, maintenance units and front-line squadrons."
Following the anniversary flight, the BBC reported that Lofthouse described the opportunity as "lovely" and "perfect," adding that it made her feel "quite young" again.
CNN relayed Lofthouse's stories of how treasured the Spitfire was and how "bomber pilots who flew with her late husband often wanted to hear about her experiences with the plane during post-war reunions." Lofthouse said those bomber pilots would all say, "We'd have given our right arm to fly a Spitfire."
In a 2011 video, Lofthouse and fellow ATA pilot Molly Rose recalled flying Spitfires during the war and pointed out that they had no contact with people on the ground once they were in the air. Rose said, "People are always puzzled that we literally had a compass, but no contact with the ground at all."
They pointed out that radios were very new at the time and were reserved "entirely for combat."
Lofthouse said people often ask if she ever landed at the wrong airfield. She smiled and said, "Well, if we did, I never told anyone. We just said, 'Oh, a red light came on, and I thought we'd better pop off to the next place.'"

A French traveler in India once told Alok Bhartia to unlock the European essence. It was confusing at first but the traveler continued and mentioned Dresden, the capital of the German state of Saxony. It's true, the spirit of Europa lies in Dresden, where gothic architecture trumps over the senses. He visited this fantastic city and describes it as a 'Vitruvian delight'. Based on his experiences, Alok Bhartia brings you five must-see places in Dresden that describe the magnificence of Europe.
Dresden Frauenkirche
This marvelous church was built in 1743. In World War II, it was reduced to rubbles by the allied bombing. After the unification of Germany in 1990, the drive to rebuild the damaged monuments took the wheel. Dresden Frauenkirche was made open to the public once again in 2005. This cathedral features music concerts and entertaining events round the year.
Catholic Court Church
The equestrian statue of King John of Saxony greets you with the quintessence of valor and might when you approach the Catholic Court Church. The church was finished in 1755. Later in 1980, it was anointed as a cathedral for its rich history and striking beauty.
Zwinger mit Semperbau
Alok Bhartia suggests visiting Zwinger mit Semperbau since this museum houses the history of Dresden. The Dresden porcelain collection is a must-see. If you find scientific instruments of the past interesting, you'll love the Royal Cabinet of Mathematical and Physical Instruments.
The Golden Horseman
The glory of Saxony has been poured into a golden statue of Augustus the Strong, the king of Poland and a Saxony elector. It was raised in 1736 at the New Town market. It was Augustus the Strong who established Goth architecture in the Elbe.
German Hygiene Museum
As funny as it sounds, no, the German Hygiene Museum does not display medieval toilets. It was found in 1912 to promote healthy living and cleanliness. The famous glass woman statue, whose anatomy can be seen through the glass, should be checked out by everyone.
Want to add a sightseeing spot in Dresden that Alok Bhartia missed? Let us know!

Yesterday the Internet was abuzz with the story of a death of a seven year old boy. It was said that his parents missed testing him that night and when they checked on him the next morning, he had succumbed to "dead in bed". I am positive that the story is not that simple. The outcome however is no less heart breaking. Another life claimed far too soon by a disease that we all hate.
There are many statistics out there. Some say that there will only be 50 deaths each year worldwide because of dead in bed and they will most often occur because of excessive exercise or alcohol consumption. Others say that one in 20 people living with diabetes will die because of dead in bed. No matter what the numbers are we need a cure. No matter what, we cannot ease the pain of the families. My heart goes out to them. I cannot begin to fathom their pain.
In October of 2010 I asked the question, "Is Diabetes more deadly than ever or do we just hear more about it now?" Once again, here is that post….
Yesterday I heard of another child who died because of Type 1 diabetes. She was thirteen years old–the age of my own son. She had Type 1 diabetes–like my son. She had parents who loved her and who were diligent in her diabetes care but she died anyway. That is every parent's greatest fear. She had hopes and dreams. She wanted to die an old woman with a book on her chest…sadly she died before she became old or had any experience as a woman. It is truly heartbreaking.
This is not the first death from diabetes that we have heard of in just this past year. This is not the first time that I have heard of someone so young being taken by this disease. This death led me down a path of contemplation. Why were so many people dying? Was this something new? Did we lose children to this disease before? Had we traded rapid insulin and better technology for a higher chance of death?
Those of us who live with the unwanted house guest called "Diabetes", know that with tight control which promises prolonged health is the risk of severe hypoglycemia and death. Its a risk most of us take with some caution. We try to keep the A1c down. We work to maintain "normal" blood glucose readings at the risk of becoming hypoglycemic unaware. Its a scary balance. Night is our enemy as we fear, as these parents did, of waking up to our children "Dead in Bed".
I put the question out to many parents yesterday–was diabetes more deadly now because of the advances we have or do we hear about death more because of social networking and our reliance on the Internet?
The answers were mixed. Many had a new fear of this age of puberty (the last number of deaths were young teens). Were teens more susceptible because of insulin needs that changed on a daily basis with incredible swings? Did adolescence and its rebellion breed a greater risk of deadly behaviors in children with diabetes?
Others felt that technology was a good thing. We were not seeing as many complications as we once did but they noted that try as we might, we are just not pancreases. We could not do enough to mimic Mother Nature. We were not God and could not anticipate all of the body's needs. Despite our best efforts, some form of complications or worse were likely to happen at one point. That was terrifying.
We have children and we realize a need to protect them. Many are devastated by the diabetes diagnosis because they feel that they have failed to protect their child/children. After diagnosis, the need to protect becomes even stronger because we failed the first time around. Now it becomes our job to keep their bodies healthy and strong. We fight to make sure that they have a normal life–as normal as it is to live with syringes, pumps, glucometers, and glucose tablets with you 24/7. To read of a death just shows us that our best just may not be enough.
Yes, I realize that my choice of pronouns has changed from someone else to me. I have always felt it was my job to protect my children and yet my son almost died because of diabetes and misdiagnosis. It is now my job to turn him over a healthy body when he leaves my care. Its a difficult job especially since he is at an age when he is looking for his own independence. I, like many before me, face the challenge of trying to teach him to care for himself and to be there to pick him up and dust him off when he makes mistakes. Death however makes us want to hold them close forever and never sleep again. We want to be in their lives 24/7 and keep them safe.
So to get back to my original question–has diabetes become more deadly? Probably not but it is still no less scary and no less deadly. Diabetes DOES kill despite those who think otherwise. The fear is real and, while possibly magnified by the Internet, the danger is still present. The answer? We need a cure. Its sadly that simple. Until there is a cure, we will continue to hover and pray. We will lean on each other in a way not available to generations before. We will learn from each other and move forward but we will never forget those that we have lost….
Another Tragedy
Yesterday the Internet was abuzz with the story of a death of a seven year old boy. It was said that his parents missed testing him that night and when they checked on him the next morning, he had succumbed to "dead in bed". I am positive that the story is not that simple. The outcome however is no less heart breaking. Another life claimed far too soon by a disease that we all hate.

A targeted treatment strategy using the EquiSal® Tapeworm saliva test has been proven to control tapeworm infections and reduce the use of anti-tapeworm anthelmintics at Bransby Horses, a horse welfare charity in the UK.
A targeted treatment strategy using the EquiSal® Tapeworm saliva test has been proven to control tapeworm infections and reduce the use of anti-tapeworm anthelmintics.
The study, recently published in Equine Veterinary Journal, reports findings from 237 horses where EquiSal® Tapeworm testing was used to inform on anthelmintic administration over the course of a year1. The EquiSal® Tapeworm diagnostic led approach reduced the use of anti-tapeworm treatments by 86% compared to 6 monthly interval treatment strategies.
The scientifically validated EquiSal® Tapeworm saliva test accurately diagnoses horses with a tapeworm infection, providing a low, borderline or moderate/high diagnosis and treatment is recommended for horses with a borderline or moderate/high result2.
In this latest study, most horses diagnosed below the treatment threshold in the first EquiSal® Tapeworm test remained below the threshold in the following two tests and 168 horses (71%) required no anti-tapeworm treatment at all. Importantly, no increase in tapeworm infection prevalence was observed during the study period and only seven horses received treatment following all three EquiSal® Tapeworm tests, suggesting that some horses are more susceptible to tapeworm infections.
The patterns of infection and reinfection observed during the study highlight the value of regular monitoring with the EquiSal® Tapeworm test.
Six monthly testing will identify horses acquiring new tapeworm infections allowing treatment at an early stage, limiting paddock contamination and exposure of the rest of the herd, and will also identify those individuals which may be more prone to reinfection.
Incorporation of EquiSal® Tapeworm testing into deworming schedules will decrease the frequency of anti-tapeworm treatments and reduce the risk of resistance developing in tapeworms in the future.
It is easy to integrate EquiSal® Tapeworm testing into worm control programmes – simply test every six months at a time when routine deworming for tapeworm is considered.
Saliva samples can be easily collected by horse owners using the specially designed swab provided in the EquiSal® saliva collection kit.
Once the swab has collected enough saliva, as indicated by a colour change, the swab is placed in the preservative solution and sent for testing at the EquiSal laboratory.

As the title indicates, this program examines manifestations of fascism around the world.
In Europe, we analyze:
1.-The recapitulation of Nazi and fascist elements in the current Bulgarian coalition government of Boyko Borisov. (Bulgaria was a Nazi ally in World War II.)
2.-The vitality of "regionalism"–a political/economic doctrine that advocates the secession of key prosperous regions from nation states.
3.-Analysis of regionalism as an application of globalist economic theory to Euorope.
4.-The history of regionalism's advoacy by Third Reich veteran theoreticians.
5.-Edward Snowden and Julian Assange's support for Catalan secession from Spain.
6.-The success of the AfD in German elections.
7.-AfD politician Alexander Gauland's statement that Germans should be proud of what that country's soldiers accomplished in World War II.
8.-The Austrian Freedom Party's projected success in upcoming elections. The party was formed in 1956 by Third Reich veterans as a vehicle for re-introducing Austrian Nazis into the country's political life.
In Latin America, we examine:
1.-The verdict that Argentine AMIA bombing investigator Alberto Nisman's death was a murder, not a suicide.
2.-Review of the AMIA bombing investigation.
3.-The discovery of a cache of Nazi artifacts, including devices used for determining racial purity. Hitler apparently posed with some of the artificats.
4.-The role of Nisman's widow as the judge investigating the Nazi artifact case.
5.-Operational links between American Nazi Christopher Cantwell and the Koch Brothers-funded Ludwig Von Mises Institute in Brazil.
In the United States, we detail:
1.-How Breitbart actively promoted Neo-Nazism, while downplaying what it was actually doing.
2.-How white supremacist and Nazi elements are successfully using YouTube to mainstream fascist and racist views.
In the Middle East, we highlight:
1.-Benjamin Netanyahu's political connections with the Thyssen/Krupp firm, one of the lynchpins of the Bormann capital network.
2.-Yair Netanyahu's attribution of his father's political difficulties to sabotage by an international Jewish conspiracy.
3.-Ronald Regan's 1981 citation of Ibn Khaldun as a key advocate for supply-side economics.
4.-Review of the Muslim Brotherhood's embrace of the views of Ibn Khaldun.
One of the illusions harbored by many–in particular, young people who have grown up with the internet, social networks and mobile technology–sees digital activity as private. Nothing could be further from the truth. Even before the cyber-libertarian policies advocated by individuals like John Perry Barlow, Eddie Snowden, Julian Assange and others became manifest in the Trump administration's were implemented by the Trump administration and the GOP-controlled congress, digital affairs were subject to an extraordinary degree of manipulation by a multitude of interests.
We begin our examination of technocratic fascism with a look at the corporate foundation of Pokemon Go. Information about the background of Pokemon Go's developer (Niantic) and the development of the firm is detailed in an article from Network World. In addition to the formidable nature of the intelligence agencies involved with generating the corporate foundation of Pokemon Go (Keyhole, Inc.; Niantic), note the unnerving nature of the information that can be gleaned from the Android phone of anyone who downloads the "app."
Pokemon Go was seen as enhancing the "Cool Japan Strategy" of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. The "Cool Japan Promotion Fund" was implemented by Abe (the grandson of Nobosuke Kishi, a Japanese war criminal who signed Japan's declaration of war against the U.S. and became the country's first postwar Prime Minister) to "raise the international profile of the country's mass culture."
The Finance Minister of Japan is Taro Aso, one of the enthusiasts of Nazi political strategy highlighted below. The "Cool Japan promotion Fund" would have been under his administration, with Tomomi Inada functioning as his administrator for the program. Now serving as Japan's Defense Minister, Inada is another advocate of Nazi political strategy.
Next, we turn to another manifestation of Pokemon Go. The "Alt-Right" (read "Nazi") movement is using Pokemon Go to recruit kids to the Nazi cause. Consider this against the background of Niantic, the Cool Japan strategy and the pro-Nazi figures involved with it. Consider this also, in conjunction with the Nazified AI developed and deployed by Robert and Rebekah Mercer, Steve Bannon, Cambridge Analytica and the "Alt-Right" milieu with which they associate.
A recent "New Yorker" article by Jane Mayer concerning Robert Mercer keys some interesting thoughts about Mercer, Bannon, the Alt-Right WikiLeaks and the Nazified AI we spoke of in FTR #'s 948 and 949. In FTR #946, we noted this concatenation's central place in the Facebook constellation, a position that has positioned them to act decisively on the political landscape.
We note several things about the Mayer piece:
She writes of Mercer's support for the Alt-Right–Mercer helps fund Bannon's Breitbart: ". . . . In February, David Magerman, a senior employee at Renaissance, spoke out about what he regards as Mercer's worrisome influence. Magerman, a Democrat who is a strong supporter of Jewish causes, took particular issue with Mercer's empowerment of the alt-right, which has included anti-Semitic and white-supremacist voices. . . ."
Mercer is racist, feeling that racism only exists in contemporary black culture: ". . . . Mercer, for his part, has argued that the Civil Rights Act, in 1964, was a major mistake. According to the onetime Renaissance employee, Mercer has asserted repeatedly that African-Americans were better off economically before the civil-rights movement. (Few scholars agree.) He has also said that the problem of racism in America is exaggerated. The source said that, not long ago, he heard Mercer proclaim that there are no white racists in America today, only black racists. . . ."
His work at IBM was funded in part by DARPA, strongly implying that the DOD has applied some of the Mercer technology: ". . . . Yet, when I.B.M. failed to offer adequate support for Mercer and Brown's translation project, they secured additional funding from DARPA, the secretive Pentagon program. Despite Mercer's disdain for 'big government,' this funding was essential to his early success. . . ."
In a 2012 anti-Obama propaganda film funded by Citizens United, Steve Bannon borrowed from "The Triumph of the Will: ". . . . Many of these [disillusioned Obama] voters became the central figures of 'The Hope & the Change,' an anti-Obama film that Bannon and Citizens United released during the 2012 Democratic National Convention. After Caddell saw the film, he pointed out to Bannon that its opening imitated that of 'Triumph of the Will,' the 1935 ode to Hitler, made by the Nazi filmmaker Leni Riefenstahl. Bannon laughed and said, 'You're the only one that caught it!' In both films, a plane flies over a blighted land, as ominous music swells; then clouds in the sky part, auguring a new era. . . ."
Next, we return to the subject of Bitcoin and cyber-libertarian policy. We have explored Bitcoin in a number of programs–FTR #'s 760, 764, 770 and 785.
An important new book by David Golumbia sets forth the technocratic fascist politics underlying Bitcoin. Known to veteran listeners/readers as the author of an oft-quoted article dealing with technocratic fascism, Golumbia has published a short, important book about the right-wing extremism underlying Bitcoin. (Programs on technocratic fascism include: FTR #'s 851, 859, 866, 867.)
In an excerpt from the book, we see disturbing elements of resonance with the views of Stephen Bannon and some of the philosophical influences on him. Julius Evola, "Mencius Moldbug" and Bannon himself see our civilization as in decline, at a critical "turning point," and in need of being "blown up" (as Evola put it) or needing a "shock to the system."
Note that the Cypherpunk's Manifesto (published by the Electronic Frontier Foundation) and the 1996 "Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace" written by the libertarian activist, Grateful Dead lyricist, Electronic Frontier Foundation founder John Perry Barlow decry governmental regulation of the digital system. (EFF is a leading "digital rights" and technology industry advocacy organization.)
The libertarian/fascist ethic of the digital world was articulated by Barlow.
Note how the "freedom" advocated by Barlow et al has played out: the Trump administration (implementing the desires of corporate America) has "deregulated" the internet. All this in the name of "freedom."
In FTR #854, we noted the curious professional resume of Barlow, containing such disparate elements as–lyricist for the Grateful Dead ("Far Out!"); Dick Cheney's campaign manager (not so "Far Out!"); a voter for white supremacist/segregationist George Wallace in the 1968 Presidential campaign (very "Un-Far Out!").
For our purposes, his most noteworthy professional undertaking is his founding of the EFF–The Electronic Frontier Foundation. A leading ostensible advocate for internet freedom, the EFF has endorsed technology and embraced personnel inextricably linked with a CIA-derived milieu embodied in Radio Free Asia's Open Technology Fund. (For those who are, understandably, surprised and/or skeptical, we discussed this at length and in detail in FTR #'s 891 and 895.)
Next, we present an article that brings to the fore some interesting questions about Barlow, the CIA and the very genesis of social media.
We offer Ms. Sunderson's observations, stressing that Barlow's foreshadowing of the communication functions inherent in social media and his presence at CIA headquarters (by invitation!) suggest that Barlow not only has strong ties to CIA but may have been involved in the conceptual genesis that spawned CIA-connected entities such as Facebook.
In FTR #951, we observed that Richard B. Spencer, one of Trump's Nazi backers, has begun a website with Swedish Alt-Righter Daniel Friberg, part of the Swedish fascist milieu to which Carl Lundstrom belongs. In FTR #732 (among other programs), we noted that it was Lundstrom who financed the Pirate Bay website, on which WikiLeaks held forth for quite some time. In FTR #745, we documented that top Assange aide and Holocaust-denier Joran Jermas (aka "Israel Shamir") arranged the Lundstrom/WikiLeaks liaison. (Jermas handles WikiLeaks Russian operations, a point of interest in the wake of the 2016 campaign.)
It is a good bet that Lundstrom/Pirate Bay/WikiLeaks et al were data mining the many people who visited the WikiLeaks site.
Might Lundstrom/Jermas/Assange et al have shared the voluminous data they may well have mined with Mercer/Cambridge Analytica/Bannon's Nazified AI?
We conclude with recap of Microsoft researcher Kate Crawford's observations at the SXSW event. Crawford gave a speech about her work titled "Dark Days: AI and the Rise of Fascism," the presentation highlighted the social impact of machine learning and large-scale data systems. The take home message? By delegating powers to Bid Data-driven AIs, those AIs could become fascist's dream: Incredible power over the lives of others with minimal accountability: " . . . .'This is a fascist's dream,' she said. 'Power without accountability.' . . . ."
We reiterate, in closing, that " . . . . Palantir is building an intelligence system to assist Donald Trump in deporting immigrants. . . ."
In FTR #757 we noted that Palantir is a firm dominated by Peter Thiel, a main backer of Donald Trump.
Program Highlights Include: WikiLeaks' continued propagation of Alt-Right style Anti-Semitic propaganda: " . . . . Now it is the darling of the alt-right, revealing hacked emails seemingly to influence a presidential contest, claiming the US election is 'rigged.' and descending into conspiracy. Just this week on Twitter, it described the deaths by natural causes of two of its supporters as a 'bloody year for WikiLeaks.' and warned of media outlets 'controlled by' members of the Rothschild family – a common anti-Semitic trope. . . ."; assessing all of the data-mining potential (certainty) of WikiLeaks, Pokemon Go and the (perhaps) Barlow-inspired Social Media world against the background of the Mercer/Bannon/Cambridge analytica Nazified AI.
In FTR #'s 891 and 895, we highlighted the Broadcasting Board of Governors, a Congressional fig leaf instituted to dilute CIA control over American foreign broadcast outlets such as Radio Free Europe, Voice of America and Radio Free Asia. In addition to the broadcast outlets discussed in the story that follows, we note that the change from a "board of governors" to a "CEO" to be appointed by Trump also gives the nominee power over Radio Free Asia's Open Technology Fund, developer of numerous apps and other technological methodologies favored by the so-called "privacy advocates."
The replacement of the governors is seen as a potential boon to the Trump administration. " . . . . 'There's some fear among the folks here, that the firewall will get diminished and attacked and this could fall victim to propaganda,' the Republican official said. 'They will hire the person they want, the current CEO does not stand a chance. This will pop up on Steve Bannon's radar quickly. They are going to put a friendly person in that job.' . . . . "
The change will affect domestic broadcast media as well. " . . . . Because of the modification of the Smith-Mundt Act in 2013, the BBG can now broadcast in the U.S., too. But the influence on the domestic market could be even more subtle, the Republican official warned. A BBG CEO influenced by the administration could penetrate established media outlets with packages, series or other news products produced by the BBG's networks but picked up and aired by traditional media like Fox News or Breitbart. Many U.S. outlets currently use content from VOA. 'No money would even change hands, you've had no effect on the budget,' the official said. 'But it will denigrate the product. . . . ' "
In the context of the changes made to the BBG, we review the political inclinations of Bannon: " . . . The late Andrew Breitbart, founder of the website Bannon went on to lead, called Bannon the "Leni Riefenstahl of the Tea Party movement"—a reference to the infamous creator of Nazi propaganda films. While insisting to a Wall Street Journal reporter in 2011 that his work isn't propaganda, Bannon went on to cite Riefenstahl among his main influences . . . "
Next, we turn to the subject of free trade, on which Trump has had much to say, bashing China and Mexico as countries the U.S. should "put right" in their trade relations with the U.S. It's worth noting we haven't heard Trump mention a trade war with Germany despite all his tirades against China and Mexico. It raises the question of why, since Germany's unprecedented and damaging surpluses make it such an obvious trade war target.
" . . . . There is one potential trade war, however, that few people have so far noticed — but which could soon be his easiest target. Germany. Given the size of its population, it runs a far larger trade surplus than China — and a massive surplus with the U.S. in particular. Even better, the industries to pick off are relatively simple to identify, and would actually have a chance of creating well-paid American jobs. . . .
". . . . Germany's trade surplus is absolutely massive, and unprecedented in modern industrial history. Last year it hit 8.9% of gross domestic product, and it is likely to break through 9% before the end of 2016. Globally, it is second in size only to China's, but given that Germany is a far smaller country, it is only fair to measure it on a per capita basis — and when you look at it that way, Germany's surplus is seven times bigger than China's. . . . Much of Germany's trade surplus is clearly the result of currency manipulation. The euro has depressed the real value of the country's exports, allowing it rack up those huge exports. You can argue about whether China's currency is really at its fair value or not — but no one can really dispute that Germany's currency is way, way below what it would be if it still had the deutschemark. . . ."
Obviously, part of the answer lies in the fact that Deutsche Bank–a key element of the Bormann capital network and the Underground Reich–is owed hundreds of millions of dollars by Trump. Trump's other connections run in the direction of the Underground Reich as well. (The Trump/Deutsche Bank connection is discussed, in among other programs, FTR #'s 920, 921, 922 and 927.)
We note in passing that Germany is preparing for a trade war with the U.S.–we don't think one will really take place, but we may be treated to Trumpian "fake news" and/or propaganda. Germany is asserting that the factors behind its enormous trade surplus can not be altered, because it is due to naturally occurring circumstances like a rapidly aging population.
" . . . There are plenty of reasons for that. Germany's current account surplus has never been as high as it is this year and never before has that surplus represented such a significant share of the country's gross domestic product. Making matters worse is the fact that the US is the largest consumer of German exports. . . .
". . . . As high as it is, though, the current surplus is likely to continue growing. The recent fall in the euro's value relative to the dollar following Trump's election makes German products and services even more competitive. And many economists believe that the value of the dollar will continue to climb, which means that the value of the euro against the dollar will shrink correspondingly. Their predictions are based on recent indications that Trump's announced economic stimulus policies will push up both America's sovereign debt load and its interest rates. . . ."
The program concludes with analysis of how Trump's continued involvement in his business empire (through his children) leaves him open to manipulation. The Philippines is a good example: " . . . . So, under the deal, Trump's children will be paid millions of dollars throughout their father's presidency by Jose E.B. Antonio, the head of Century Properties.
"Duterte recently named Antonio the special government envoy to the United States. The conflicts here could not be more troubling or more blatant: President Trump will be discussing U.S. policy in Southeast Asia with one of his (or his children's) business partners, a man who is the official representative of a foreign leader who likens himself to Hitler. Also note that the Trump family has an enormous financial interest in Duterte's deadly campaign: Rooting out crime in the Philippines is good for the real estate values. . . . Duterte recently named Antonio the special government envoy to the United States. The conflicts here could not be more troubling or more blatant: President Trump will be discussing U.S. policy in Southeast Asia with one of his (or his children's) business partners, a man who is the official representative of a foreign leader who likens himself to Hitler. Also note that the Trump family has an enormous financial interest in Duterte's deadly campaign: Rooting out crime in the Philippines is good for the real estate values. . . . ."
Program Highlights Include: Trump's business dealings in India, where members of the BJP party figure in the disposition of the operations in that country; Trump's consideration of Bernie Sanders supporter Tulsi Gabbard for a cabinet position; "Alt-Right" kingpin Steve Bannon's high regard for Gabbard; Gabbard's strong support for Modi and networking with the BJP; Gabbard's networking with the RSS, the Indian fascist organization for which the BJP serves as a front.
In FTR #854, we noted John Perry Barlow's background as Dick Cheney's campaign manager and George Wallace supporter in 1968. In FTR #895, we discussed the fact that the Electronic Frontier Foundation embraced technologies developed by CIA-linked institutions. Barlow founded the EFF. It turns out that Barlow was invited to CIA headquarters in 1992 and advanced concepts that may well have lead to the development of social media–". . . Let's create a process of information digestion in which inexpensive data are gathered from largely open sources and condensed, through an open process . . . The entity I envision would be small, highly networked, and generally visible. It would be open to information from all available sources . . . It would rely heavily on the Internet, public media, the academic press, and an informal worldwide network of volunteers–a kind of global Neighborhood Watch–that would submit on-the-ground reports. . . . It would use off-the-shelf technology, and use it less for gathering data than for collating and communicating them. Being off-the-shelf, it could deploy tools while they were still state-of-the-art. . . ."
Continuing our analysis of the high-profile hacks and "Team Snowden," we begin with analysis of some cryptic tweets that Snowden issued, shortly before the "Shadow Brokers" announced their pilfering of NSA cyberweapons. The possibility that the tweets were a signal to release the information is one to be considered.
Much of the program reviews key points of information from FTR #923 and other broadcasts: Russia appears to have been wrongly fingered for the DNC hack released by WikiLeaks; the Shadow Brokers' supposed hack of the NSA's servers does not appear to have been a hack at all but the work of an insider who downloaded the files onto a USB drive; the files offered up by the Shadow Brokers were from 2013, when Snowden undertook his operation.
Snowden has supported the cover story for the NSA non-hack–that it was, indeed, a hack (it probably wasn't) and that Russia was behind it, which was probably not the case.
A chief suspect in the release of the NSA files is Jacob Applebaum, the WikiLeaker who appears to have facilitated Snowden's journey from Hawaii to Hong Kong. The program reviews Applebaum's hostility to Hillary Clinton, comparing it to the so-called "Shadow Brokers'" hostility to Clinton, echoing the views of Trump, Assange and Applebaum. The broadcast reviews the fact that the "Shadow Brokers" used an e-mail account in Germany that has been recalcitrant to attempts at penetrating its users' information.
The program reviews Applebaum's presence in Germany, along with other key members of the WikiLeaks/Team Snowden cadre.
Program Highlights Include: review of the fact that Snowden (at the time he set out to subvert the NSA), Applebaum and other high-profile "privacy activists" have documented links to the CIA; a look at Donald Trump, Jr. who has been active in tweeting and re-tweeting "Alt.right" racist and anti-Semitic memes; Trump, Jr.'s expressed willingness to run for office.
Supplementing and summing up the exhaustive "Eddie the Friendly Spook" series, this program sets forth the Snowden "psy-op" and the high-profile hacks against the background of Lee Harvey Oswald, the U.S. spy infiltrated into the Soviet Union and then into leftist organizations in the United States. Oswald was framed for JFK's assassination and then killed before he could defend himself.
Whereas Oswald was portrayed as a villain, Eddie the Friendly Spook's operation is the obverse, with Snowden decamping first to China and then to Russia, and being portrayed as a hero.
Snowden is not only a spy but a fascist, who advocates the elimination of Social Security and the return to the gold standard.
Snowden's Russian sojourn appears to have been arranged by WikiLeaks, which also appears to have arranged his flight to China from Hawaii. (Snowden's journey to Hawaii appears to have been facilitated by Jacob Applebaum, who may be behind the "Shadow Brokers" alleged hack of NSA cyberweapons.) It was Snowden's journey to Moscow that threw Obama's "reboot" with Russia under the bus.
In this program, we examine information indicating that Russia has been framed for the "Shadow Brokers" alleged hack of the NSA, much as it appears to have been framed for the DNC hack. Indeed, with both the DNC hack and the "Shadow Brokers" non-hack of the NSA, the evidence points increasingly toward "Team Snowden" and Eddie the Friendly Spook himself.
In that context, we again point to "The Obverse Oswald." We strongly suspect that "Team Snowden" may have had something to do with this. Snowden is in Russia and working for a computer firm. The (frankly lame) framing of Russia for the DNC hack and the "Shadow Brokers" non-hack of the NSA reminds us of the process of "painting Oswald Red." After reviewing information about the political, ideological and rhetorical continuity between Ron Paul (Snowden's and Julian Assange's Presidential candidate of choice), David Duke and Donald Trump and his "alt.right" associates, the program reviews the apparently deep and ongoing collaboration between Julian Assange, WikiLeaks and Donald Trump's dirty tricks specialist Roger Stone.
The program reviews at length the overwhelming probability that Russia was framed for the DNC hacks. Tackling the "Shadow Brokers'" penetration of NSA cyberweapons technology, we note that the evidence that this was done by Russia is very poor. The bitcoin auctioning of the cyberweapons is extremely unlikely, as is the public announcement of the so-called "hack." In addition, the announcement of the so-called "hack" is done in a comical broken English, reminiscent of the Boris and Natasha cartoon characters from the early 1960's.
Next, the program sets forth the hypothesis that, rather than a "hack," this was more likely an insider penetration of NSA and downloading of the files onto a USB stick. Longtime NSA observer James Bamford points a finger of suspicion at Jacob Applebaum, the WikiLeaker who appears to have facilitated Snowden's flight from Hawaii to Hong Kong. Applebaum is a resolute opponent of Hillary Clinton, and the Shadow Brokers' broken English targeted the Democratic nominee as well.
It is more than a little interesting that Edward Snowden has gone on record saying that Russia was behind this event and that it was a hack. The evidence of Russia being behind the Shadow Brokers and this event being a "hack" is very poor. Nonetheless, Snowden is giving credence to the cover story for this event.
Program Highlights Include: The use of a German e-mail provider that has been resistant to government attempts at transparency; review of the presence in Germany of Applebaum, Sarah Harrison (Assange's former girlfriend and the woman who assisted Snowden's flight from Hong Kong to Moscow), Laura Poitras (close associate of Snowden and Glenn Greenwald) and Peter Sunde (who founded the Pirate Bay site on which WikiLeaks inititially held forth); rumination about the possibility that Snowden and Applebaum may have collaborated in the context of the "Shadow Brokers;" review of the links between the CIA-derived Broadcasting Board of Governors and Jacob Applebaum; review of Eddie Snowden's work for the CIA at the time he chose to leak NSA documents.
Continuing analysis and discussion from FTR #891, we further explore the CIA-generated background and funding of the "privacy" advocates who comprise much of "Team Snowden." Recall that Snowden himself was with CIA when he chose to double on NSA. We begin by reviewing our scrutiny of Edward Snowden from the perspective of Colonel L. Fletcher Prouty, the Air Force "Focal Point Officer" who developed a CIA-controlled network inside of the branches of the military and other agencies of the federal government. This "focal point" network constituted a "secret government within a government" that appears to exist to this day. Next, we set forth the evolution of the Broadcasting Board of Governors and Radio Free Asia, the parent organizations of the Open Technology Fund. The OTF has capitalized much of the encrypted "anti-surveillance" technology that has been developed. "Team Snowden," in turn, has evolved from this milieu. In our past discussions of the assassination of President Kennedy, we have noted that the very same covert action networks used to overthrow and eliminate governments and individuals deemed hostile to U.S. interests were ultimately deployed against Americans and even the United States itself. "Regime change" and destabilization came home. In a similar fashion, it is our considered opinion that a CIA-derived technology milieu developed to assist and effect "ops" abroad was used to destabilize the Obama administration through the Snowden "op." " . . . Readers might find it odd that a US government agency established as a way to launder the image of various shady propaganda outfits (more on that soon) is now keen to fund technologies designed to protect us from the US government. Moreover, it might seem curious that its money would be so warmly welcomed by some of the Internet's fiercest antigovernment activists. . . . . You'd think that anti-surveillance activists like Chris Soghoian, Jacob Appelbaum, Cory Doctorow and Jillian York would be staunchly against outfits like BBG and Radio Free Asia, and the role they have played — and continue to play — in working with defense and corporate interests to project and impose U.S. power abroad. Instead, these radical activists have knowingly joined the club, and in doing so, have become willing pitchmen for a wing of the very same U.S. National Security State they so adamantly oppose. . . ." Program Highlights Include: The controversy over WhatsApp's encryption technology; the development of WhatsApp's encryption technology by the CIA-derived Open Technology Fund; FBI Director James Comey's support for Mitt Romney in 2012; the apparent role of Comey in destabilizing the Obama administration and the Hillary Clinton campaign.
A Mitt Romney backer and former George W. Bush Justice Department staffer, James Comey is taking actions that are destabilizing both the Obama administration and the Clinton candidacy.

Dave offers his programs and articles for free–your support is very much appreciated.
Returning once again to "L'Affaire Snowden," we note the revealingly profound discontinuities in this event and the key characters involved. We also revisit some of the key features of what appears to have been an Underground Reich intelligence operation. Far from being "shocked, shocked" by the Snowden material, the German BND (successor organization to the Reinhard Gehlen spy outfit) HELPED the NSA spy on foreign leaders. The Snowden "op" also serves as a rationalization for Europe's assault on American Big Tech and a push for censorship of the Internet. As the New York Stock Exchange, United Airlines and the Wall Street Journal simultaneously experienced what were described as technical glitches, we note that the "Anonymous" hacker group (whoever they are) foreshadowed the event. Program Highlights Include: Electronic Frontier Foundation John Perry Barlow's work as Dick Cheney's campaign manager; the EFF's links to Snowden and the hacker encharged with securing Glenn Greenwald's computer; the EFF's work shilling for Big Tobacco; Glenn Greenwald's work shilling for Big Tobacco; allegations that the Snowden leak compromised American and British spies to Russian and Chinese intelligence; the fact that one of the people with "root access" to the OPM data base was in Argentina (an epicenter of the Underground Reich).
A controversy ensued when it emerged that House majority whip Steve Scalise had attended a meeting of David Duke's European-American Unity Organization. The newly-seated GOP-dominated congress which Scalise will help to guide began attacking Social Security on its very first day. Specifically, the GOP began attacking the Social Security disability program. These developments serve as a point of entry into our discussion. Snowden is an advocate of eliminating Social Security and the OUN/B fascists running Ukraine are engaging in a similar program to force those in Eastern Ukraine to stop their attempts at secession. The elements of the Snowden/WikiLeaks "op" are networked with Duke, as well. Snowden's leaking journalist of choice, Nazi fellow-traveler Glenn Greenwald, has been financed by Pierre Omidyar of Ebay, who has also financed the Ukraine coup. The program notes many other elements of confluence between the Snowden/WikiLeaks "op" and the Ukrainian coup. The Snowden/WikiLeaks helped to deep-six Obama's "reboot with Russia" and also alienate many of the young, idealistic voters who had supported him in 2008, thereby helping to elect the 114th Congress.

This painting is based on a photograph that my daughter, Shahar took of a monk on the Ganges River at daybreak. The words in the painting reflect my longing for her on the far side of the world for the first time:
Suddenly you're gone, stillness. The house rests, hushed. Cat curls in close on the bed. I email you routinely following your odyssey faithfully up the Himalayas down along the Ganges basin.
Then I ask myself, What must she be doing this very moment? Here is how I answered:
You're celebrating Chanukah now with friends and candles bought from an old woman by the water.
Thus I have balanced my inner feelings with Shahar's experiences.

We assign a newborn's sex either as male or female, based on their genitals. Once the sex organs are assigned, we presume the child's gender. A baby born with a penis is known to be a boy, and a baby with a vulva, a girl. But there are many people who do not identify strictly as a boy or a girl – they can be identified as both, or neither, or as another gender entirely. When someone's gender expression is inconsistent with others' expectations, they are frequently (and mistakenly) assumed to be homosexual. Many people face harassment on the basis of how they express their gender.
One day while I was coming back from my office, a 10 year old child from our society came to me and asked "Bhaiyya, can I ask you something?" I said "Yes."
Child: "Are you a doctor?"
Me: "No, I am not a doctor. But you can ask me anything. I might be able to help you."
Child: "Most of my friends harass me, and say that I behave like a girl. Am I a girl? Because doctor uncle told every person is 50% boy and 50% girl. I am confused as to who I really am."
That night I was really upset as to how I should explain non-binary gender identity, not only to this child but to his family as well – what their child is going through and the things their child cannot discuss with them. There are many more incidents like these that I have seen, where people are harassed because of their gender and their sexual orientation.
The LGBTQ community in India still struggles, awaiting the social and constitutional justice it deserves. Amidst this, the community is tagged with many stereotypes filled with stigma. But individuals do not choose their gender, nor can they be made to change it, though the words someone uses to communicate their gender identity may change over time (for example, from using one term for a non-binary identity to another term for a different non-binary identity).
To raise awareness on these issues, the LGBTQ community in Delhi is coming together to Dance For Pride! We will dance to the indigenous beats of the dhol, which is in itself a unique way to put the thought forward and show the world who we are.
People from the LGBTQ community and straight allies will come together to demonstrate their pride. The event will be held on Saturday, April 8, at Hauz Khas Village. It will start with a freeze mob followed by a powerful dance. Dance for Pride will have its doors open for everyone who wants to join us, in solidarity with equality.

An Inexpensive Straightening Solution? Everyone loves a bargain! And I'm no exception. So today I thought I'd check out the reviews and specs of the very cheapest flat iron I could find: the S5500 Remington hair straightener.
In this Remington hair straighteners review, I'd like to find out how the company is able to make a flat iron so cheaply, how it differs from its more expensive cousins and whether it's worth chancing 20 big ones on.
Let's see what the specs, the websites and the customer reviews have to say about the Remington S5500.
A Cheap & Cheerful Flat Iron
The Remington hair straightener price is pretty much the cheapest on the market. It generally sells for under $40 – you can't even buy a T-shirt for that! It also looks great – a fabulous bright purple colour – and most buyers say they are happy with its performance in the online reviews.
I recommend using auction sites like Amazon.com to shop for straighteners, especially non-professional ones which don't have the strict certification. Remington hair straightener online shopping allows you to purchase from anywhere in the world and to search around and take advantage of the best deals.
You won't have to go hunting for Remington hair straighteners nz or the Remington hair straightener price in India, simply check it ships to your home, convert to your currency and you're ready to buy!
Just One Floating Plate? Huh?
There are one or two reasons why this Remington hair straightener is so much cheaper than other models and some of them are fairly carefully hidden. It advertises "floating plates" which are a great feature which speed up straightening, prevent painful snagging and allow for better plate contact and a more effective straightening than models with fixed plates.
Great news! I thought.
Until I read a few Remington s5500 hair straightener reviews.
It turns out that only one of the plates is floating and the other is fixed. This kind of defeats the purpose of floating plates because they will not flex to meet each other or align as well as they would if both were floating. There's also a greater chance that hair will catch between the housing and the plate and lead to painful pulling.
Sizes to Suit Styling Needs
Just when I was starting to doubt the Remington s5500 digital I found a couple of features that I really like. There's a choice of two plate sizes which is great because different hair types, lengths and styles need different plate widths.
If you've got short hair or want to be able to make tight curls with your flat iron, the 1 inch plated Remington slim ceramic straightener is your best option.
If your hair is a lot longer or is stubborn and hard to straighten, you'll be better off with a Remington wide hair straightener (1 ¾ inch plate) because the 1 inch will take hours to straighten long hair. Just be aware that the Remington wide plate straighteners will not have the precision for styling hair into curls.
Great Safety Features
In my opinion, one of the Remington s5500 digital flat irons best features is the digital read out which gives you an accurate reading of the temperature as often as you need it so you'll know that you're not going to melt your cortex and fry your cuticles! Simply program the temperature you need (around 375 degrees is optimal but it could be cooler if your hair is fine), check the display and you're ready for safer straightening.
And, speaking of safety, there's also the auto shut-off function. This straightener is clever enough to turn itself off when it hasn't been used for an hour. That's wonderful news for those of us who have the memory of a goldfish and risk burning the house down every time we finish a styling session.
Temperature Questions
One concern that I have with this Remington straightener is that the minimum heat setting is far too high. The lowest temperature setting is 310 degrees and people with damaged or fragile hair may need it much lower than that.
So, if you're wondering how to use remington hair straighteners on damaged hair and what temperature to choose, I say DON'T. You need straighteners that are gentler and have much lower temperatures if you want to avoid totally charred, broken and irreparably damaged hair. If your hair is very fine or quite damaged, why not check out my hair types article for the best models of straighteners for damaged hair? Or my Heat Precautions article for tips and tricks to protecting your hair from further damage.
One or two reviews of both the Remington wide hair straighteners and the anti static 1 inch ceramic hair straightener said that they emit an odd chemical smell when they get really hot. The manufacturer states that this is normal and not dangerous. It will 'burn off' after a couple of uses. Just thought I'd let you know in case you're sensitive to smell!
Surprisingly Positive Reviews
It seems like I've been pretty harsh on the Remingtons. I do think there are good features but I also want buyers to know that there are flaws with this model. I'm trying to be balanced!
For all my nit-picking and flaw-finding, the Remington s5520 hair straightener reviews on Amazon.com are actually suprisingly positive. After nearly 3000 customer reviews, it has an overall consumer rating of 4.5 out of 5 stars. There are even reviews from people with notoriously hard to straighten hair – coarse, curly, frizzy, long, African American – you name it! These straighteners apparently have a massive loyal following and many reject more expensive brands an order to buy them.
So, is remington hair straightener good for the price? Why not read a few more customer reviews and make up your own mind?
My Verdict: The Very Cheapest Option with some Promising Features
I originally gave the Remington s5500 straightener 3.5 out of 5 stars for my personal rating.
But, after reading all the reviews of the remington hair straightener online I have changed my mind and will give it a 4 out of 5 star rating. This is because I realized just how many people love this straightener and think it does a great job on their hair (even 'hard to straighten' hair).
I guess what you have to remember is that "you get what you pay for". You can buy cheap remington straighteners and appreciate the job they do, without expecting a salon finish at a drugstore price. As long as you know what you're buying, you shouldn't be disappointed.
And, speaking of price, why not check if they're on sale at the moment?

As a 22-year-old American girl, I had my hesitations moving to Cape Town, South Africa alone. This is why I made the conscious decision to live in a 17-bedroom house where people were always coming and going. Within the span of four months, I lived with 28 strangers--all from different countries, cultures, religions and socio-economic backgrounds. But while my relationship with each of these strangers was unique and fulfilling, one relationship during my time in Cape Town rose above all the rest.
One of my 28 housemates was James, a dashing South African model with rock hard abs and a perfect jaw line. While James was kindhearted and sincere in many ways, he was what one might call a proper Fuckboy (see Hey Violet's "Fuqboi" for reference). He was always talking to multiple girls on Tinder and asking them on dates on different days of the week. One of the girls James #swipedright was Elizabeth.
When James asked Elizabeth to come to our house-party one Saturday night I thought it was going to be the usual routine. She would come over, he would spend the whole night telling her how beautiful she is and touching her legs, and ultimately they would sleep together. But from the moment I met Elizabeth I knew it wasn't going to be the same.
A law student from England studying abroad in Cape Town, Elizabeth was smart and interesting. While I began talking to her with the intension of being James' wing-woman, before I knew it we had been talking for hours and James was nowhere to be seen. From that night on, Elizabeth and I were inseparable. Sharing a passion for being active, we were constantly going on hikes together and exploring waterfalls. She gave me an appreciation for British Gin, and I showed her what a proper American Thanksgiving dinner looked like. When we went out, guys would ask us if we were a couple and we would just laugh and nod because we would rather spend the limited time we had together rather than sleeping with guys we'd never see again. Before long, people wondered if we were twins separated at birth and raised in different countries--Parent Trap style--because we had so much in common and were already so close. Honestly, it could be true...Elizabeth is the Annie James to my Hallie Parker.
All of my favorite memories from Cape Town are with Elizabeth. Belting Adele's "One and Only" at the tops of our lungs in the car. Smoking joints in hidden caves. Picnicking in the Botanical Gardens as a South African pop star who neither of us have ever heard of performed. Sharing a bottle of wine on Signal Hill watching the sun set over the ocean. Elizabeth and James never hooked up. But thanks to Tinder, I met my best friend in Cape Town.
Elizabeth and I still talk every day. But with her in London and me in New York, it is unclear when we will ever seen each other again. If this contest isn't fate, then I don't know what is.

If you think that all election voting should be available to everyone on home computers provided by government? Will it cure the low voting turnout problem for elections? Will it increase the voice of the majority in reference to getting closer to obtaining a true representative democracy?

Republican presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson said, "the government would provide the money for the indigent in their HSA" under his plan to repeal Obamacare and replace it with health savings accounts (HSAs) on Friday's "Larry Kudlow Show."
Carson was asked about his support for health savings accounts, "and if need be, having the government distribute them to poor people, so they can hold onto them for the rest of their life. Is that still your view? Health savings accounts to replace Obamacare." Carson responded, "Absolutely, because it puts the care and the responsibility back in the hands of patients and healthcare providers. And it's not that complex. You know, making a health savings account available to Americans from the day they're born until they die, using the exact same dollars that we use now. We wouldn't to use as many of them. And giving people the ability to shift money within their HSA between family members, which gives you enormous flexibility. And because nothing's coming out of your catastrophic insurance, the cost of that drops dramatically, you make it possible to buy that across state lines. That'll take care of the majority of Americans."
He continued, "But it doesn't take care of the indigent. And, you know, we take care of them now through Medicaid." Carson then argued that one could buy "a concierge practice" with the money that is spent per-person under Medicaid, and that his plan would teach people responsibility.
Carson added, "Well, the fact of the matter is, that the government would provide the money for the indigent in their HSA. No question about that. But, our overall goal is to get them out of a position where they need to have somebody else doing it."

Title of Bulletin Board: What's on Your Plate?
Category: Nutrition
Suggested Grade Level: 6-8
Materials: Cut-outs
I thought this bulletin board was perfect for my middle school students. It explains what kinds of foods they need to be focusing on and how much they need to be eating. My students enjoy looking at the board and reading what each serving size is and which kinds of foods fall in each category. The purpose was to get them to get out of their normal eating habits and start eating healthy, and I know many of them have began that process! It is very rewarding as a teacher!

Green Energy (or how much should we sacrifice for the sake of our values?)
I've been struggling with a decision recently. Not a massive one, but given my current situation a fairly important one. The decision? Whether or not to sign up for green electricity, given the increased cost.
The reason I've struggled with this is that I'm currently unemployed, again, and thanks to stupid depression, that's not likely to change in the near future. The budget is tight, and I'm not the best at sticking with one at the best of times.
While I'm living on minimal income, I've been constantly wavering between going for the cheapest option to make life easier for myself, and picking the slightly more costly option that is commensurate with my values. For several weeks I've gone back and forth depending on my mood and outlook, but finally a couple days ago I settled on doing what I feel is the right thing.
Deciding to go for a green energy scheme, I signed up for Equigas from Ebico and electricity from Good Energy, a 100% renewable energy company.
Now, there were other companies, notably nPower, who also provided certified green energy schemes that would match my electricity usage with 100% renewables and cost a fifth less than Good Energy. So why Good Energy?
nPower are primarily using non-renewable sources for electricity and just topping up with renewable to match my demand.
Good Energy use 100% renewable energy sources and have smaller generators spread throughout the country in hundreds of different areas. Local generators support communities and provide jobs across the country. In addition, Good Energy's hydroelectric power comes from small watermills as opposed to damns which have a questionable environmental impact.
For me, I like the idea of supporting a company that is dedicated to developing green electricity usage and local projects and exclusively uses renewable sources. To paraphrase from their (obviously biased but still valid) literature: it's more like buying from a farmers' market than a supermarket.
As for gas, this is a tough one and still not quite resolved.
I signed up the other day for (non-profit energy provider) Ebico's Equigas. This provides gas at a low flat rate regardless of payment method or usage, which for me as someone using a prepay meter and little gas compared to the national average is very attractive, plus it has a positive social impact by providing more affordable gas. The downside is that there is no mention of the source of the gas on their website, nor of any projects to increase renewable gas production.
Enter Ecotricity. They produce a large volume of their gas from waste products and are developing technology to produce it en masse from natural algae. The downside is the cost is 1.5 times that of Ebico for the amount of gas I would use. Spread over the course of the year that's not the end of the world, and the sums involved wouldn't typically be seen as wallet-busting. However as someone who is striving for financial independence in the long run but who's values drive him to lean towards Ecotricity for it's renewable gas projects, the conflict of ideals is challenging.
My mind is still changeable though. While I am inclined to pick Ecotricity, I am waiting on Equigas to get in touch with me regarding the exact sources of their gas. That will be the clincher either way.
One day I'll be off grid and all this will be a thing of the past. But until then I am struggling to balance my responsibility to the Earth and society, with my responsibility for helping ensure that WIB and I can afford to live while we try to get stable.
Any thoughts, comments and opinions are more than welcome.

You should always do what you feel is right. We have no options here for electricity, I can only go through the co-op or get off the rid. We are not ready yet for off the grid living. We have choices of propane companies, and we go through a small family ran one.ReplyDelete
However with money being tight, it has to be a factor in these decisions. Sometimes you indeed have to sacrifice your values to reach your final goal when it comes to fiances.
I would never ask someone to sacrifice their own values for my benefit. well not on purpose.
No options for electricity? That's mad. Is that because of your location?ReplyDelete
It's a tough one the finance issue. I'm hoping that since the amounts involved aren't massive, I ought to be able to save little bits as and when I get money in order to pay the bills. I think it will be possible, if difficult, in my current situation to stick with my values for energy. If things get worse, then I'll reconsider. The one positive of being on a prepay meter is that you can't spend more than you have. I'll just have to be tighter with the thermostat and heating times. And maybe buy some fingerless gloves to use the computer :p
if money is tight, go with what is cheap and save the difference in a bank account (or jar) that you dedicate to generating your own green power off-grid, when you can, and if you can...ReplyDelete
Phelan point's out the problem..
it's tough to try and stick to you values and especially when you are juggling a financial decision that involves services/products and your own moral compass combined with limited resources..
it's not easy..
if it's weighing on you, go for the cheapest and hold out until YOU have control..
the cynic in me wonders how "green" these companies really are.. you sound earnest, i would hate for you to be disappointed at a premium price.
sweaters are cheap!!!
Hey Jambaloney, thanks for reading and taking the time to comment, and thanks for the advice.ReplyDelete
I have a cycnical streak too, which does make me question these things. Short of actually going and inspecting everything myself, which obviously wouldn't happen, I'm just going to have faith that the companies are as nice as they seem :s. I like the idea of saving the difference, but part of me just can't get past the thought that if I want to see something happen i.e. more green electricity and gas, I have to be willing to push forward and find a way to make my contribution. However if things start to get ridiculous, I'll switch to cheaper.
I've decided that given that I can spread the cost across the year I can probably afford to go with the greener options. And since I spend most of my time at home in my bed, I don't have to worry too much about the heating until it gets really cold.

Thank you for those thoughts. Were I a conspiracy theorist ... I would entertain the same ideas.
I think it is interesting that no one is entirely certain of what the title "Artemis Delphinia" means. There was a dragon called Delphyne (in English called Python (and rarely 'Leviathan'), and there is a minority opinion that "Artemis Delphinia" means "Artemis of the Dragon". Construing Delphinia as pertaining to the womb of the world can be found in a number of very old books I have from my grandfather. A conspiracy theorist might put the two ideas together and come up with something rather stunning.

If you google "secret base, womb of artemis" you'll find references on various forums going back to 5 September 2016.
The 4chan post was made on the morning of 5 September 2016.
Draw your own conclusion.
artemis was the goddess of the hunt, not childbirth.

It is a very odd phrase, but Artemis was a goddess of childbirth. My thought is that the expression may fit with the notion of a New World Order and giving birth to the same.

More Looks at the Costumes
Kane's very best Iron Chef pose!
His official chef coat- Iron Chef Miller

Happy Halloween!
The boys had a fantastic Halloween! Their costumes seemed especially appropriate this year as they fit their personalities to a tee! Kane was an Iron Chef. He loves Iron Chef America and dreams of becoming a chef one day. For those of you that know Kane, this is somewhat humorous considering his lack of tolerance for any type of meat. No matter, he will be a fabulous vegetarian and pastry chef someday and I can't wait to try all his dishes! Cole was a boxer this year. Again, very telling of his personality. He has tons of energy and although he is little, he feels like a giant and is always ready to take on the world!

How long is this going to take!?
Alright Mama.....you have had enough time away. We have been forced to give you our "Mama looks" so you will listen and come home.
Do you need a time-out Mama?
One...................two............don't make me get to three!
Look! Even Simba looks angry and ferocious. Maybe not.
Kane wants to make sure you know that we are teasing. We love you. Don't worry about a thing though. Look what we've been doing.........
We get to hang out with Papa........
Dad has also been a great cook.......
Thursday dinner: Hand dipped, battered chicken with fried potatoes. The "M" must stand for Miller.
Friday dinner: Tossed noodles with sauce and fresh garlic bread. Dad even made this great bag to put it in....AND......for dessert....

Hand scooped, slowly churned homemade ice cream. I'm still trying to figure out why Dad calls himself "Whitey" though.
See! Nothing to worry about. Love Kane and Cole

More for Mama
Mama: We hope that you are getting our pictures we are sending you. We like reading your letters every day and always look forward to the next day's letter. Most of all, we are looking forward to Sunday when you come home. We love you. Kane and Cole
Cole can read his letters from Mama just like Kane. It makes him smile.
Kane loves to read. He uses his letters for part of his reading at night.
(Actually, this picture is taken right after Cole beat his brother repeatedly with his bunny. Its amazing how a tootsie roll can change your whole attitude and make anyone smile...even at 6:30 a.m.)

Can You Believe There is a New Post?
Okay, okay, I am well aware of my blogging inability. Seriously, I am the self proclaimed worst blogger in the world. Admitting your problem is the first step, right? Step two is doing something about it. So here I am...with a new picture of the boys on our vacation to the Ozarks this summer. We have had the BEST summer together as a family. These two boys are Steve and I's pride and joy. We wonder often how it came to be that we were given the privilege of being these two boys parents.
